Status bar in java application

Hi all,
How do I make a status bar on the bottom of my application window in JAVA? ( One like on the bottom of the Internet Explorer )

Thanks,

You can use the following code:

StatusBar sBar = new StatusBar();

And based on your frame/panel, and the direction you would want to place your status bar (I guess SOUTH), you can use,

this.add(sBar, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

hope this helps..

or if u are doing applets, u can use showStatus methods..

mehtas suggested using StatusBar class. Is there such a class?

vemul suggested using showStatus method. Only Applet has this method, but the questioner seems to be referring to stand-alone applications. Is there such a method in Frame, JFrame, Dialog or JDialog?

If the answers to the above two questions are no, then why accept their answers?
